I live In South Florida and I am sorry Briana had that experience growing up down here. Because I am pretty certain that children are not born as being racist I am under the belief that this is sadly learned from their parents or older relatives. Keep being you. You are amazing. Thank you for putting out another great video, Maurice.
@@ameliaerin1544 watching someone comparing schoolyard bullying to racism while listening to a discussion on mental health..is mind blowing. Telling people to get over racist treatment is the best way to keep it alive. Unbelievable. You think it ends if she decides to change her glasses or adjust her weight? Do you think genocide happens to folks wearing ugly glasses? This is sickening. You need to speak to people of colour, clearly. There's no excuse for being this ignorant in this day and age, especially after the past year.
I’m a black Southern woman who will never forget the day I was waiting in line at McDonald’s when I was shocked out of my mind. Two children maybe 4 or 5-years old screamed, “Mommy, look! What’s wrong with her? She’s … Why’s her skin like that?” And they were pointing and staring at me like I was a giraffe in the bright sunlight of a McDonald’s. My heart sank and I ran out to the car to cry. And I still have the hurt that prevents me from ignoring the disheartened people who are hanging around the convenience stores and in the corners of the emergency rooms. See people because a greeting removes the strange from Stranger.🤔🤝
I will say this over and over again, Maurice you have the best Interviews. Loved Briana. Her conversation was so genuine and relaxed. I could have listened all day. As a woman of color/Black, I can relate to what she was saying about racism and her experiences because of it. My grandchildren are biracial and they face the same racial issues. People always thought my daughter was the baby sitter whenever she would take her baby out. Terrible. Depression,. I’m so happy Briana, you has been able to get help for it. Many people will not talk about it or don’t recognize or understand it. My mother was severely depressed her entire life and people thought she was just lazy. Thank you, Maurice and Briana for this wonderful discussion and Blessings to you and your handsome husband., Chris♥️ Love you both ♥️
Ms. Henry has brought enormous gravity to the role of Jordan on GH and she's always a powerful and complex presence on screen. Many thanks for bringing her on to share her story. The value of these discussions cannot be overstated.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there. This is the best possible way for me to start my Mother’s Day. Serenity Sunday with Maurice and Brianna. Keep that kind heart Maurice.❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Brianna on the pregnancy and tell your husband good luck to him too and take care of yourself and I hope you show back up in general hospital and I love you lady you're good you're good actor come back soon as you can God bless you and your family
Listening to Brianna talk about bullying makes me so sad. I was bullied several times in school through the years. I was very quiet so kids took advantage of that. And just the other day, a beautiful little boy here in Brooklyn died after being hit in the head by a kid in school. 💔
Bullies should be expelled, not suspended ,any age, 3rd grade to 12, onto college or a job,expelled or fired,they are mentally torturing, sometimes physically torturing other students, bullying is a form of mental rape, those that do it need to be sent to something called 'a 1930's style reform school' and the message has to be sent clearly to bullies , boys and girls, that bullying will not be tolerated, in public or private school and there should be a national mandate. Bullying is child abuse, and should be treated as such,it's no different than sexual harassment and maybe worse, it is a crime a serious crime, a form of emotional rape that can damage a child , a teenage child or young adult for years, sometimes for life, it's just about as bad as sexual assault and in school especially. Bullying should be treated like it's arm robbery , because you are robbing a person of their dignity, their peace, their sound mind, it should be drilled into children since preschool , not to abuse other children and to report bullying and it is these days to a certain extent, but there should be mandatory anti bullying classes that goes against not just racism , but against all bigotry, misogyny,etc. Children in school should be taught that school isn't a beauty contest, , boy or girl, they're not there to mention anyone's looks, good or bad, what anyone's wearing or speak about the model of a car, they're there to learn, so asking anyone out for a date on school property should be not be allowed, things like proms, homecoming king&queen should not be allowed, it puts to much pressure on children, at best , only a sit down dressy dinner , but no dancing should be allowed, kids in general can do that stuff later, they shouldn't be made to feel pressure for adult stuff, sex, romance, mating, marriage, to make adults feel better, let their be a national mandate, school is for learning only, strict like that.
I can do relate to her story too. I had a bipolar mother and an alcoholic dad. It was easy to over look my own issues because I was too busy being a care taker or navigating their storms. When I left home as a teen the anxiety and depression couldn’t be ignored or covered up.
That just hit me so hard... "the only time I was happy was when I was sleeping" I had not ever put that into words but that is the truth. Sleeping I don't think about all the loss that I've had and my dreams were all about what could have and should have been and to wake up, back to reality. Thanks Maurice for putting it into words.

State of Mind is my favorite part of Sunday! Maurice you always seem to have a way of bringing just the right thing to air on the right Sunday for State of Mind! Brianna’s openness is refreshing and she does a phenomenal job playing Jordan on GH! Stay Safe Maurice! We need more people with your heart out there
I live my life with anxiety and it’s a hard way to live, I try to solve all the problems of life at night, I can’t shut my head off but I have help now with meds
I sorry that you experience racism. My family is mixed. I love everyone with all my heart. I wish that people would stop teaching their kids to hate. I was taught to love everyone. We all are made from The image of God. Lots of love to you and Maurice. 💙💕💙💕🌹
This was so good for everyone to see and hear. I feel like I can relate to so many of these interviews in some way and it feels like a relief to realize other people have the same things going on like I did in my life. Thank you both for all of your honesty
Hey Mo... its your favourite Canadian here.. I was wondering if you'd ever consider doing an episode of state of mind based off of ... Loosely based off of what Tom Cruise was saying about not having mental health issues and about how medication doesn't help you... I think it would be very interesting and Important to speak up and out about. Btw you know I love you so much and please tell Paula and your daughter a happy mothers day. This episode was amazing as per usual 👏 🙌 😘
Well, well. Thank you Maurice for this conversation. I subscribed and have watched a few episodes but at this point in time this one got me! I appreciate your talent but more so I appreciate these authentic and open conversations. Looking forward to more, if you are able. Thank you again. Be well and stay safe.
Thank you so much for this episode. I related so much this as I've been dealing with racism my entire life n bouts of depression. I know I'm late to so many of these episodes but I'm beyond grateful to have them.
So glad I heard her story. She speaks about it with laughter but this is tragic stuff. It's real. When we raise our kids to think anyone is less than we are, we unleash destruction on this earth. This book talks about school age kids and when they start recognizing they are different, etc...very good read. Some of us as parents think elementary age is too young to talk about this. It is not. "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?: And Other Conversations About Race"
Thank you for these interviews Maurice 🙏 Our own State of Mind is absolutely a daily checking and choice of peace. My husband of almost 20 years had serious bouts of every mental issues due to his childhood and into his adulthood and through the years he has gone through tremendous transformation. He knew in started within and knew he needed to accept himself and love himself. The funny thing is...I did too. Although I did not exhibit the same issues, it made me look at myself to improve MY own state of mind too. It truly is a daily awareness and growth to accept who we are inside and know we are enough. Acceptance of ourselves is truly the way to live. We are One. 🙏💜
Some of her bullying had to be jealousy, especially starting in middle school, when girls notice boys and get insecure. She is clearly freaking gorgeous. Reason why we have to teach and set the example to our daughters to raise their self esteem from within, not by trying to push others down.
Yes there is more awareness but people are still discriminating against blacks. I believe it may be worse because they were emboldened in the last few years.
I was in Naples a week for a broken leg. The Dr never came into "visit", so I requested it, regretfully. He stared at me then asked "What do you want?" I felt like I did something wrong, but put on a brave face. They never set my fx as the x-rays show. These antisocial men who belittle others are actually living in fear of being found out they are incompetent in every way.
I really hear what she is saying. My grandchildren are biracial, black/white. My grandchildren have not yet experienced racial issues, however I have no doubt at some point it will rear it's ugly head. My daughter and son-in-law have prepared themselves as well as they know how to deal with it. But the hurt it causes is palpable and so very unnecessary. It all starts with education, if not in the home, then in the classroom...but some lessons sadly are not ever taught, so the struggle continues...
The bullying has not changed. I think it is worse now. It is ashamed that the doctor singled you out. My daughter went to a classmate house teammates from her cross country team and the dad out of everyone there asked her where she was from and proceeded to say East St Louis. She proudly told him where which was a northern suburb of Chicago. Just the judgement is just crazy. She is in school in southern Illinois and has had a couple issues. Nothing has changed if anything it is worse.
You said the dad, he just sounds like ignorant garbage, not a dad, a true decent dad, wouldn't demean or allow for demeaning, no matter what,,he sounds like an exception, but not an affront to middleage older GenXrs,my generationX, Boomers and Silents, plenty of great people in those age groups, but it tends to be the older generations are more 'stupid that way' percentage wise.
To GH historian: Robyn Bernard played Terry Brock ,she arrived in Port Charles on Labor Day 1984 and she left Port Charles when she got her recording contract to sing and left Port Charles on March 7,1990.
My grandkids are also black n white so I consider myself the same. I did that dna testing I’m 99 percent Italian but also have black in me too. I got bullied in school too the kids signed a petition against me my mom had to go to the school and the principal put a stop to it. I’m very depressed more than usual because my Pomeranian Wolfgang died at home on May 2 Nd I’m shattered. My daughter is so afraid that I’m gonna die from a broken heart so she bought me JOY FOR ALL dog on amazon . It has a heartbeat and barks and snores even holds a stuffed toy in his mouth. I put Wolfgangs tee shirt and bandana on him,it has helped me out very much so I hope this will help anyone grieving a family member my dog. I also am having a lady in Russia recreate Wolfgang in a stuffed animal I will be getting it in mid June. I miss my dog so much. Maurice can you discuss how you feel losing a pet and how you deal or ever have dealt with this heartache? Ty for this Sunday show.....
Wow this talk of racism is something else. I've never encountered racism but everytime I hear it the first feeling is anger but now am just so confused how one race can think they are better than another is beyond me
Thanks for asking a beautiful woman of color about dealing with depression. I have to say the biracial experience helps lighten the trauma in Breana’s life. She has a “white” influence throughout her life that she obviously values, but cannot give the hardships of growing up with this dark cloud over your heart and mind and facing the daily challenges of being a minority in the home of the free and the brave. Black people face hardship and most often are planted in teachings from church and love of a strong faithful mother. When depressed, notice liquor stores on every corner and drug houses. This topic is not likely to fit in one segment of State Of Mind, but try to grasp the valuable people you meet who might speak on living Real Life and doing it through the heavy cloud of depression. Thank you for being with me and others breaking through the cloud to shine for others to come through.😘🤩🙏🏾
Am a widow. Been swindled out of my entire life savings as I was In a bea8 relationship for 34 years. My late husband Philip was my soulmate. Now every single person has sucked me dry. So thought this very first man was honest and sincere. Found out that after he so conned me our of my lifes savings of 300,000. He ruined me and all the while he was so sitting in a room in Nigeria typing sweet bullshit to a vulnerable widow
I was born and raised in Philadelphia lived in South Beach Miami Florida for a few years growing up in Philadelphia we had a lot of racism especially in Fishtown it was when I moved to South Beach Miami Florida that it changed for me I felt comfortable it was my second home .. I'm Puerto Rican with Curly hair and back in Philadelphia black girls in my school hated me they would pull my hair so really racism is not just with white people you have it in every race white black and Latin so sad but true
Maurice it is so right about being happy when I go to sleep and I feel to terrible when I wake up. I can't take naps so all day I'm up with me,my dog(my savior) who is battling and illness which I fe I'll die if I have to without her. I also have a bird who up there in age. Just the 3 of us. I'm on men's which me get along. I'm 60 and I've been bipolar since I was 17. I don't open windows don't clean he'll I don't even take a bath. If it wasn't for my pup I wouldn't go outside. My cars been broke for months. Good and bad. I have all sort of health issues it's pathetic. I watch gh everyday. I'll quit. I could go on and on. Love you and the state of mind.
Yes Maurice it still goes on till this day My grandchildren are mixed black and white and I can't tell you how many times my daughter the white mother has been called nanny smh
Bullying is not just confined to race I was bullied relentlessly in school I started 1st grade in Pennsylvania I was from the Arkansas and talked different I had to fight all through school
I also come from a family living with a step grandmother is white and my grandfather is black so I know the feeling. And I have been in a relationship with a white man 27 years older than myself I had people look at us funny asking why are you dating a white man and stuff it’s a crazy world we live in. We have to open our eyes and love one another
I can’t stand racism God created us all equal even if we all look different we’re still all gods children so Ms. Henry you keep your head up your shoulders back and no there are people out there that love you. Just for you I see no color💜
As much as I often miss Vinessa as the old Jordan Ashford, I actually like Briana. I connect Briana more to Jordan Ashford than Vinessa as well as the other lady who subbed for Briana. Briana took over the role of Jordan and owned it. At first I didn't like the recast but it goes to show some recasts really aren't all that bad after all!
Dude you just explained mental health especially depression. From a teenager I was on Adderall and zoloft.. I turned to alcohol because anxiety was always my issue it helped but not really.i would love sometimes I was so happy and like just to talk to everyone and everyone I would be good.i would love to be manic all the time. Is that fucked up?
I am white, and I would be followed around in certain stores by store clerks/owner's because they thought i was going to steal from them, and this was back in the 70's, i am now in my 60's
What happened to Briana is terrible. At my daughters school during black history month some black students were telling white students to tie their shoes. So I think racism goes both ways and I do believe racism starts at home.
I'm sorry great people like you and Donnell had to experience ignorance for the color of your skin 😢when both are so articulate, talented, and accomllished. I do believe racism starts in a home and either the children can follow path or not repeat it. I'm going to be honest here and say that the n-word bothers me as much when I hear a group of 10 black men all referring to each other as that, as when I hear a white person say it as they walked by the group of black men. It's a word that means ignorant and no matter whose mouth it comes out of I feel it's ignorant. My 15 year old nephew Johnny Jr. asked why his friends call each other that and I say to go tell them it hurts him bc He loves them and they are above that in all ways! None of them say it around me when I take them out for ice cream after and do things with them because they already know. LOL Maurice, you understand to some degree or you would be Mauricio Morales the star of general hospital because you would have made it anyway, but it's sad even 5%of you felt that❤🙏
I get frustrated when everything is racial ... I think kids and people are cruel regardless.. bullying is everywhere Skinny bully fat Smart bully less intelligent Strong bully the more weak People who hate Jesus (Christians) bully people who love Jesus and are Christians.. I could go on but bottom line is this This world has lost the love of Christ and with out it there is hate Let’s see what happens if we put God back into our country and not put each other down On that note ... I hate the story line of sonny I’m over it for real and I’m glad Curtis kicked Jordan to the curb.. I like him with the doc lol And dear goodness Dante ugh no no no him and Sam I don’t like him
Yet you wanna dismiss and put down people's experience with racism and make some grand assumption everything is about race. This is Briana's interview and her life and experience not everybody.
You need to wakeup! Duh we know that people are bullied for different reasons, however Maurice and Brianna are speaking of their experiences with racism which you obviously know nothing about. Keep your opinions to yourself because who cares what YOU think. This interview is not about your bias view.
please educate yourself. racist exist and that’s what briana was bullied for. not for being skinny, not for being fat, not for being ugly, she was bullied for being biracial/black.... you sound ignorant
Miss her so much on GH. She is radiant.
Briana, so glad you found a therapist that you loved going to and got help from. My heart goes out to you and still missing you on GH!
I live In South Florida and I am sorry Briana had that experience growing up down here. Because I am pretty certain that children are not born as being racist I am under the belief that this is sadly learned from their parents or older relatives. Keep being you. You are amazing. Thank you for putting out another great video, Maurice.
Thank you for being aware & understand where kids learn racism from. Some people would deny that fact.
Brianna is a great actress, but get over it. Bullying happens to white people, heavy people, people with glasses, etc.

Once again Mo great interview With Briana. Bullying has no place a lot of people don't tell there parents and end up dead.
AWESOME INTERVIEW! I'm loving this!

To GH historian: Robyn Bernard played Terry Brock ,she arrived in Port Charles on Labor Day 1984 and she left Port Charles when she got her recording contract to sing and left Port Charles on March 7,1990.
Can't wait love her to great actress
Ikr! ✨
Thank you for sharing your story but the bullying hasn't changed I feel like it's getting worse day by day
Love her
Wow another incredible interview my brother, big hugs
Oh man I really related to Brianna. It was great.
My grandkids are also black n white so I consider myself the same. I did that dna testing I’m 99 percent Italian but also have black in me too. I got bullied in school too the kids signed a petition against me my mom had to go to the school and the principal put a stop to it. I’m very depressed more than usual because my Pomeranian Wolfgang died at home on May 2 Nd I’m shattered. My daughter is so afraid that I’m gonna die from a broken heart so she bought me JOY FOR ALL dog on amazon . It has a heartbeat and barks and snores even holds a stuffed toy in his mouth. I put Wolfgangs tee shirt and bandana on him,it has helped me out very much so I hope this will help anyone grieving a family member my dog. I also am having a lady in Russia recreate Wolfgang in a stuffed animal I will be getting it in mid June. I miss my dog so much. Maurice can you discuss how you feel losing a pet and how you deal or ever have dealt with this heartache? Ty for this Sunday show.....
Wow this talk of racism is something else. I've never encountered racism but everytime I hear it the first feeling is anger but now am just so confused how one race can think they are better than another is beyond me
Great episode 🖤
Thanks for asking a beautiful woman of color about dealing with depression. I have to say the biracial experience helps lighten the trauma in Breana’s life. She has a “white” influence throughout her life that she obviously values, but cannot give the hardships of growing up with this dark cloud over your heart and mind and facing the daily challenges of being a minority in the home of the free and the brave.
Black people face hardship and most often are planted in teachings from church and love of a strong faithful mother. When depressed, notice liquor stores on every corner and drug houses.
This topic is not likely to fit in one segment of State Of Mind, but try to grasp the valuable people you meet who might speak on living Real Life and doing it through the heavy cloud of depression.
Thank you for being with me and others breaking through the cloud to shine for others to come through.😘🤩🙏🏾
I'm on Bumble too. Hehe.
I loved Green Book!
Am a widow. Been swindled out of my entire life savings as I was In a bea8 relationship for 34 years. My late husband Philip was my soulmate. Now every single person has sucked me dry. So thought this very first man was honest and sincere. Found out that after he so conned me our of my lifes savings of 300,000. He ruined me and all the while he was so sitting in a room in Nigeria typing sweet bullshit to a vulnerable widow
I was born and raised in Philadelphia lived in South Beach Miami Florida for a few years growing up in Philadelphia we had a lot of racism especially in Fishtown it was when I moved to South Beach Miami Florida that it changed for me I felt comfortable it was my second home .. I'm Puerto Rican with Curly hair and back in Philadelphia black girls in my school hated me they would pull my hair so really racism is not just with white people you have it in every race white black and Latin so sad but true
Maurice it is so right about being happy when I go to sleep and I feel to terrible when I wake up. I can't take naps so all day I'm up with me,my dog(my savior) who is battling and illness which I fe I'll die if I have to without her. I also have a bird who up there in age. Just the 3 of us. I'm on men's which me get along. I'm 60 and I've been bipolar since I was 17. I don't open windows don't clean he'll I don't even take a bath. If it wasn't for my pup I wouldn't go outside. My cars been broke for months. Good and bad. I have all sort of health issues it's pathetic. I watch gh everyday. I'll quit. I could go on and on. Love you and the state of mind.
The show doesn't do her justice she's very beautiful.
Yes Maurice it still goes on till this day My grandchildren are mixed black and white and I can't tell you how many times my daughter the white mother has been called nanny smh
Bullying is not just confined to race I was bullied relentlessly in school I started 1st grade in Pennsylvania I was from the Arkansas and talked different I had to fight all through school
@@susanmcknight2124 nobody said it was just confined to race.. but in Briana’s case and many others, it is. don’t take away from their experience
DD I wasn't trying to take anything away from anyone Sorry you took it that way
Go gh!!!
Welcome to Florida. Its the way. Get with it.
There are million stories to tell.
I was brought up that people are people, not the color of their skin. To be respectful at all times
She is beautiful 😍
I also come from a family living with a step grandmother is white and my grandfather is black so I know the feeling. And I have been in a relationship with a white man 27 years older than myself I had people look at us funny asking why are you dating a white man and stuff it’s a crazy world we live in. We have to open our eyes and love one another
I have always worried about what people think. And I hate it.
I can’t stand racism God created us all equal even if we all look different we’re still all gods children so Ms. Henry you keep your head up your shoulders back and no there are people out there that love you. Just for you I see no color💜
Thanks
As much as I often miss Vinessa as the old Jordan Ashford, I actually like Briana. I connect Briana more to Jordan Ashford than Vinessa as well as the other lady who subbed for Briana. Briana took over the role of Jordan and owned it. At first I didn't like the recast but it goes to show some recasts really aren't all that bad after all!
Dude you just explained mental health especially depression. From a teenager I was on Adderall and zoloft.. I turned to alcohol because anxiety was always my issue it helped but not really.i would love sometimes I was so happy and like just to talk to everyone and everyone I would be good.i would love to be manic all the time. Is that fucked up?
You are a beautiful lady. 🌹
She’s beautiful
Hi sonny!
I am white, and I would be followed around in certain stores by store clerks/owner's because they thought i was going to steal from them, and this was back in the 70's, i am now in my 60's
❤️🙏😇
briana is gorgeous
THE SHOW MADE THE FIRST PORTRAYER SO BEAUTIFUL. BUT THEY MAKE BRIANNA GRAYISH. I HAVE A REGULAR TV SO MAYBE its my fault.
very beautiful
This is interesting. 😏🥰🥰
Sometimes people suck. All that should matter is that your a decent human being. I live in Florida. I’m sorry Brianna! Kids can be vicious.
😍
What happened to Briana is terrible. At my daughters school during black history month some black students were telling white students to tie their shoes. So I think racism goes both ways and I do believe racism starts at home.
This is the South up, and down! SMH
I'm sorry great people like you and Donnell had to experience ignorance for the color of your skin 😢when both are so articulate, talented, and accomllished. I do believe racism starts in a home and either the children can follow path or not repeat it. I'm going to be honest here and say that the n-word bothers me as much when I hear a group of 10 black men all referring to each other as that, as when I hear a white person say it as they walked by the group of black men. It's a word that means ignorant and no matter whose mouth it comes out of I feel it's ignorant. My 15 year old nephew Johnny Jr. asked why his friends call each other that and I say to go tell them it hurts him bc He loves them and they are above that in all ways! None of them say it around me when I take them out for ice cream after and do things with them because they already know. LOL Maurice, you understand to some degree or you would be Mauricio Morales the star of general hospital because you would have made it anyway, but it's sad even 5%of you felt that❤🙏
It bothers alot of us too when other black peoples use it but at this point it’s cultural to us and it must be kept in the family
I get frustrated when everything is racial ...
I think kids and people are cruel regardless..
bullying is everywhere
Skinny bully fat
Smart bully less intelligent
Strong bully the more weak
People who hate Jesus (Christians) bully people who love Jesus and are Christians..
I could go on but bottom line is this
This world has lost the love of Christ and with out it there is hate
Let’s see what happens if we put God back into our country and not put each other down
On that note ... I hate the story line of sonny
I’m over it for real and I’m glad Curtis kicked Jordan to the curb.. I like him with the doc lol
And dear goodness
Dante ugh no no no him and Sam I don’t like him
Yet you wanna dismiss and put down people's experience with racism and make some grand assumption everything is about race. This is Briana's interview and her life and experience not everybody.
You need to wakeup! Duh we know that people are bullied for different reasons, however Maurice and Brianna are speaking of their experiences with racism which you obviously know nothing about. Keep your opinions to yourself because who cares what YOU think. This interview is not about your bias view.
please educate yourself. racist exist and that’s what briana was bullied for. not for being skinny, not for being fat, not for being ugly, she was bullied for being biracial/black.... you sound ignorant
@ Sue Ma'am, this is an Arby's
This girl loves to complain!
